I think they still have to pay upfront, unless it has changed very recently.

Assessments in April for TXL? That's mighty strange, as I was already told mid January by EZY recruitment before the start of the assessment during presentation that the base that I had applied for Berlin, was no longer available and neither were UK bases and Swiss contract. The only base, EZY recruitment told us, that was still available for DEC at that time was Portugal, can't remember if it was just OPO or also LIS. At the same time the recruitment website was changed and Berlin, UK and Swiss contract removed from DEC list, and only still open to apply for DEC Portugal base. They checked willingness for Portugal base on individual basis and I kindly declined at the time, and got put in the Talent Hold Pool as a result, due no more vacancies in Berlin.

Update from the Talent Pool received last week and again, only OPO available from beginning of 2020 and 1 week to decide... ANY info on OPO base would be highly appreciated.
1) Approximate salary after tax for a DEC with family
2) If it is possible to receive Non-Habitual Resident status as an easyJet Captain under the Portuguese tax laws, coming form outside EU (more than 10 years)
3) Living in Porto, as it seems to be a beautiful historic city
4) And why it is so unpopular that EZY can't seem to crew it, even after the revised salary package.....

Thanks in advance!

Interesting statement LHS320, as they haven't been able to properly crew this base since it was first announced, well before the Brexit vote. Even then the Brits and other nationalities didn't seem to be interested. I wonder what is going to happen with all the Brits stationed in mainland Europe and all the other European nationalities remaining in the UK in case of a no-deal Brexit.

From the information I managed to gather it looks like the main reason is the very high taxation and Net salary after Tax, as the salary before tax is not that bad. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any information from OPO and LIS based Captains is highly appreciated, as I'm enthusiastic about living in Porto but I need more information regarding the approximate salary after Tax. Is 7500 EURO a/month after Tax and Social Contributions achievable for a married Captain, with 2 school going children?

Regards.

I was invited to the selection process.
Anyone can tell me the net salary per month? PORTO, Non rated FO, married and 1 kid.

Thanks

No. I've just completed the online assessment for NON RATED FO and invited to attend easyJet assessment.

Is there anyone out of the talent pool for DECs that got further infos regarding the OPO course?

Hello !

I would like to know the details about the type rating in CAE Gatwick.
What about hotel and food? Where and which is the hotel?
I know that the salary is the basic only, but I heard that if you are based out of London, you have some overnight allowance. Is it still in force?

Does easy provide transportation to go there?

Thanks

As far as I am aware it's at yourself who sorts out and pays

No

if you are contracted by easyJet from day one of type rating then yes you will get nightstop allowance outside of your base

Thank you THEAIRMISSION,

About the hotel : When I did the assment I remember that the airline briefing included an overview on the type rating conditions : basic salary and hotel. But it could have change now.
However I wanted to know if the hotel chosen by easyjet would be next to CAE building.

I will be under contract with easyjet during the TR, so I guess transport to gatwick is included.
Concerning the night stop allowance, I remember that it was mentioned during the assesment briefing. But on my contract, that is written that the nightstop allowance is not concerning the initial training....

So I dont know...

I dont know about type ratings, but for OCC some time back they used Hilton in the airport and Crowne Plaza in Crawley. Transportations were all covered from day 1. I don't think you got nightstop allowance during training, but I think that you DID get something for the weekends spent in UK. Better to ask the company though :)

CPT joining Easy as FO
 

Hi,

as a captain, does anyone have an idea how long would one have to wait for an upgrade if joing as an FO (either OPO or PMI)?

Thanks

Waiting time talent pool DEFO OPO
 

Hi guys!
Just wondering how long it will take to have an offer? I am currently in the talent pool NTR DEC FO, applied for OPO, preferences CDG LGW STH.
I read above that OPO is not a very famous base. However I think that better be in the company with a not so good base than being out and waiting a potential entry... So if any opportunity at OPO better accepting it, IMHO.
In that case and knowing about the situation do you know how long will it be to have the opportunity for an internal change from OPO to the preferences listed above?
Lots of questions from a newbie sorry about that😉
See ya in the air!
​​​​M.

Thanks for your answer.
Honestly I do not care about any bases. Preferences are preferences the most important thing for me is being inside of the company ASAP. That's why I was wondering about the average time being hold in the talent pool with or without my preferences.
​​​​​​

Did you guys participate in the selection recently?

I participated in the beginning of September and this week I received the email informing that I passed and I'm in the pool for non rated FO. First option was Porto followed by Barcelona and Amsterdam.

Does anyone know how long (average ) a pilot stays in the pool? Of all who passed the only rated FO was the one who received a date for February 2020.

Things are weird in Europe with Eigle azur and XL both in france. The number of rated pilots that are available is large.

Hi LockeedTristar,
This was my question as well. I went through the assessment process during early September.
I read above that the specific waiting time was IAW your results during the assessment process, but no clue about that. And honestly not sure this is happening this way.
​​​​​​

IAW????

what day did you go?

The 4 that passed only one was rated and he has been called to join in February.

In accordance with.
I did the assessments the 12th of September alongside with other candidates. No news about them.
And no idea about the actual waiting time inside the pool.

any idea about TR cost/available bonds etc for cadets?

Hey guys

Does anyone knows if they offer a bond for TR or they cooperate with some banks for loan upon contract?

Also, can you move from any european base to Swiss bases?

Hello There!

Are there any Non Type Pilots here in the holding pool for 2020?
If so, how long have you been in the pool? And for what bases? Any idea on any Type Rating Dates?

Yes, since July 2019. Looking for a London base. Not sure of dates......Anyone know of any movement this year for NTR FOs?

Been in the talent pool since Feb 19 and heard nothing. Non type rated FO looking for Belfast or Northern base!

Same here, although only since October 2019. London Milan, or Palma. Not sure why they continued to interview if they had a hold pool from Feb last year.
